[Terenas] Identification of KEY Kara upgrades

[Concillian]

What about the Barbed Choker of Discipline or the epic tanking hats (Eternium Greathelm and T4)? I didn't see any real replacements for those in early 25-man raiding. T5 hat doesn't come until Lady Vashj, IIRC, and that's not soon. :)

Well, T4 tokens will be in competition with everyone, but we wouldn't go to Prince without at least one person who needs each token type, that's a given. We aren't looking to change the loot system or pressure people into passing on loot they have the queue position to take over everyone else, mostly potentially changing subbing and/or rostering based on some of these key upgrades so that at least one person who can use a "key" upgrade is present.

Tanking items are pretty key in general. We always try to have someone in the raid who can use tanking items that drop (Tuesday it was you, because Wimpy is DPS).

However, we have to balance having people present to loot key items with the continuity of the raid. Subbing 3 people each boss will really slow down a raid. So we have to set the bar for what is considered KEY pretty high.
